Error description

Debug stabstrings generated with the -g compiler option are
using a stab type that has not yet been defined. This is
causing the -bstabcmpct:2 linker option to encounter an error
while interpreting the stabstrings:
ld: 0711-393 STABSTRING ERROR: Symbol table entry 22, object
file /home/test.o
A stabstring refers to type 13, which is not defined.
Using the 'dump -t test.o' utility shows:
[22] m 0x00000000 -2 0 0x8c 0x0000 :t14=ar0;1;3;13
, where the '13' is a type that has not yet been defined. The
missing type is related to declaring an array using a
passed subroutine parameter, i.e.
SUBROUTINE TEST1(VAR1,VAR2)
INTEGER*2 VAR1,VAR2(3,VAR1)
